Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the audio quality, compatibility, and charging capabilities of the RockStar Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable. The ease of use is also a well-received feature. However, some customers find the price a bit high and the size somewhat bulky. There are also a few concerns about battery drain and the design.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Using the charger causes a buzzing sound

    I needed this to play audio in my older vehicle which only had a headphone input (no USB jack). I thought I could charge my phone and also play music at the same time. But I found that if I have the charger going at the same time I'm playing music, there's an annoying buzz in the headphone line. I can't be sure that this isn't just a problem with my car's stereo (maybe a smarter stereo system would filter out this buzz?) but it was bad enough that I don't use this adapter the way I planned to.

      Hi, Alan,

      There should not be any buzzing noise while using the Belkin F8J212 3.5 mm Audio + Charge adapter. You can try to use a different headphone or different MFi-certified lightning to USB cable for isolation. For further assistance, you can reach out to us at BelkinCares@belkin.com and share more details with the link to this review for our reference.

    This little headphone jack adapter is well worth its price, because it is sturdy and durable and has outlasted 5 other devices I bought online for a cheaper price. The cheap ones did not last more than a day or two, because I use them with my iPad in bed. The Belkin is far superior in quality to any of the others.

    This adapter works ok. When plugged into a power source it does produce a little feedback that I barely hear. Good in a car. Not so good for critical listening.

      Hi Tinkerer,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. The adapter should provide clear audio and there should be no feedback. To further isolate this behavior, we suggest that you try using other headphones to check if the same thing is observed.

      We can also have our Product Experts check this out to make sure. Just send us your contact details at [email protected] so that we can escalate your case. Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.

      We hope to hear from you soon.

      Hi there,

      The behavior of the spillter is far from expected and we'd like to check this out further. Try using another set of headphones or a different handheld device for isolation. Palease call our phone support team through the hotline numbers listed in this link: https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=55022, for better assistance with your challenges.

    I bought this so I could charge my new iPhone X and listen to music/podcasts/etc. while in my car. Unfortunately, when I set the phone down next to me, after a few moments, the audio no longer works. I have to unplug and replug it in to make it work, and it'll still stop. I finally got it to stay on when I held the phone between my legs. So weird. I'm going to have to try and find a different audio/charging set-up. I would not recommend this product.

      Hi, LisaF67,

      The audio shouldn't be affected by how the phone is positioned. To isolate this, email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so that the Product Experts can contact you.

      Hi, youwho,

      The Belkin 3.5mm Audio + Charge RockStar (F8J212) should work with any Apple device that runs iOS 9 or later. You may try to use the adapter with a different iOS device for isolation.

      Let us know the result at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference, and we'll assist you further.
